Green With Envy

March 8, 2014

2 Comments

Although it’s still freezing out here in the Big Apple, I’m slowly trying to welcome spring into my wardrobe with some pops of color! This Nordstrom bag, scored on clearance of course does just the trick. Something I always enjoy doing is spicing up a simple outfit with a brightly colored accessory.

What I love about this bag is that it isn’t my usually style. I tend to steer clear of satchels because of their boxy feel and that they simply can’t fit as much as they look like they could, but this bag is different. The flexible leather material allows for it to expand with however much stuff you fill it up with and it’s a great bag to wear to the office or to run errands on the weekends.

As you know, I have a thing for dressing up plain pieces, so when it’s a jeans and a white tee kind of day, why not layer a chic faux fur vest over it? I have to be ‘out there’ every now and then haha 😉 This look is great for a casual Friday at the office or for a girl’s night out on the weekend! A classic faux fur vest can instantly transform an otherwise ordinary outfit into a show stopper, because I’m sorry but who doesn’t love a little faux fur in moderation?! I sure do!

I also was never a huge fan of ‘fringe’ but I love these booties from Isola because 1) They are super comfortable…now this means I can walk all around Manhattan in these, stand in line for 2 hours to meet Sarah Jessica Parker for the launch of her shoe line {Read Post Here} and get home without a single blister…that’s comfort. 2) They are simple and cute…a total win win!

While I’m not sure what the rest of the day holds for me, one thing I do know is that it will be handled in style 😉

SJP for Nordstrom Collection

March 4, 2014

1 Comment

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of visiting the limited edition Sarah Jessica Parker for Nordstrom pop-up shop in Soho! Safe to say this was the highlight of my weekend and pretty much my life, my little sister and I waited on live for 2 hours to meet Carrie Bradshaw herself and check out her exclusive Nordstrom collaboration in person!

So like many other girls out there, I aspire to be Carrie Bradshaw…stylish, independent, writing for Vogue with a killer Manhattan apartment and closet…although that may not be my current reality, something Carrie and I have in common is our love for footwear, which I shared with SJP when I finally got to speak to her and told her about how I work in the footwear industry in Manhattan and how my friends and family call me the modern day ‘Carrie Bradshaw’ (I could only hope 😉 )! I even spotted the legendary Andre Leon Talley while waiting on line to get in…fashion heaven!

Her line for Nordstrom isn’t just shoes, there’s jackets and bags all suiting for the gal on the go who loves to twirl in a tulle skirt or wear a pair of metallic heels with ripped boyfriend jeans…the possibilities are simply endless! I personally purchased the ‘Bobbie‘ in coral which is perfect for spring into summer for work or play. Now don’t get me wrong, while I love the collection, the price tag is a little steep for a fashionista on a budget like myself. Her shoes are being created in Italy by George Malkemus aka Mr. Manolo Blahnik (He is President of the company)! Talk about a winning combination…SJP put Manolo on the map during her ‘Sex and the City‘ days! Does ‘Hello Lover‘ ring a bell? 🙂

Sarah Jessica herself was a total sweet heart. She took photos with my sister and I and even chatted with us for a few minutes…best few minutes of my life! Safe to say Carrie didn’t disappoint and I will continue to dream of being proposed to with satin blue Manolo Blahnik’s in a custom built walk in closet on the penthouse level of an New York City building…I tend to dream big!

Coral Crush!

March 3, 2014

For once this season, my outfit on the blog also happens to be my outfit of the day! There’s noting better than bundling up in a cozy sweater on a frigid and snowy day like today in NYC. After an exhausting weekend consisting of some R&R, a girls night out and waiting on line for 3 hours to meet my idol Sarah Jessica Parker (don’t worry a blog post will be coming soon!), this Monday morning is definitely giving me the blue’s.

So instead of mourning this Monday in traditional black, I opted for this cute coral oversized sweater scored on clearance at Nordstrom, olive green Abercrombie pants (which are super comfortable by the way!), quilted white puffer vest from Old Navy..for that extra layer of warmth, black lace up Old Navy booties and a plain leather bag from Urban Outfitters. This outfit is great for work or play and will keep you cozy and warm all day long 🙂

There’s nothing better than a Starbucks green tea, a warm sweater and some blogging to start a Monday off on the right track!

Winter White!

February 27, 2014

2 Comments

So it may be a so called fashion ‘faux pas’ to where white in the fall and winter seasons, but as you may know, I have a thing for breaking the rules. Neon in winter, never wearing tights, a faux fur vest in the summer…I tend to wear what I want when I want haha 😉 That’s why I was so excited to wear white jeans in the white snow!

I finally embraced the winter wonderland outside and so did my sister (my photographer) who had a little too much fun writing cute things in the snow during this shoot! I’m wearing these great fitting ‘Rockstar Jeans‘ from Old Navy, fringed Isola wedged boots (scored on sale at 6pm.com), my new GiGi NY hot pink clutch with my initials, an easy chiffon blouse from Old Navy and some C. Wonder and Nordstrom bling…topped off with Urban Outfitters sunnies!

I love this look because it is great for work or play and it is simple and easy. I also love the black and white look with a pop of pink…I love a great ‘Pop Of Color‘ any chance I get! The winter season tends to get me a little down, but a cute outfit can instantly lift my mood and my attitude…snow and cold? No problem…nothing a little fashion and style can’t fix 😉
